Call Me Maybe

[[Two guys walking down sidewalk.]]
[[Girl barely entering the panel on other side.]]
Scruff: Uh oh. Look who it is.
Girl: NATHAN. COOPER.
[[Girl slapping one guy.]]
Girl: How could you not call back?
Girl: After the night we had!?
[[Hand print on face.]]
Guy: I'm so sorry. It's just I had a terrible accident. I'm sure I could never forget you, but at first I couldn't even remember my own name.
[[Woman hugging man.]]
[[The other guy holding in his smile.]]
Girl: Oh you poor thing. Here's my number again. Call me.
[[Other guy celebrating. Palms to temples, elbows out, huge smile.]]
Scruff: Oh my god! I [[bold]] cannot [[bold]] believe that just worked. You're a genius.
[[Blank stare.]]
Guy: Who are you?

This is surprisingly like a How I Met Your Mother joke for the first five panels, so much so that I fear that it actually is one (I’ve thankfully not seen all of the show to check). Also, so much so that I told Will to model the characters after Barney and Ted, but as you see, no one is suited up; clearly that’s not supposed to be Barney then. The other guy, though, would suffice as a stunt double for college-era Ted.
